Removing time from SQL datetime
Monday, August 10, 2009 7:03 AM

How many times do you have a data point in your application that is a date but not a datetime? For example:  birthdate, receiptdate, licensedate, etc.  Things can get really weird when doing date math if these “dates” have times on them – for example:  2.33333 years instead of 2.32.   We have even seen some strange things happen with timezones - 8/2/1955 00:00 becomes 8/2/1955 01:00 (still puzzled by this one although I have seen it a few times).

Kevin explores some solutions to this problem in our latest team blog post.

The one option I have seen several clients use on projects is to store the date as a varchar(8) in YYYYMMDD format.  While the ISO formatting does allow sorting, it just feels icky.
